On overcoming the Russian veto in the UN Security Council, our Research and Policy Coordinator published an article on 28 November calling for the invocation of the 'Uniting for Peace' mechanism as a means of achieving international action on Syria.
Rethink Rebuild Society helped with the writing and dissemination of the following open letter by British Syrian activist Farah Alfarhan. Farah lived for 27 years in Aleppo and was detained by the Assad regime and endured torture for 35 days while in detention. Her open letter urged Prime Minister David Cameron to take action on Syria.
In an article on the increasing difficulty of Muslim charities to operate with respect to their banking, Rethink Rebuild cited bank account closures for Syrian individuals and organisations, calling it a discriminatory practice. Banks have been citing sanctions compliance as a reason for denying service to Syrians, which has negatively impacted humanitarian aid work.
